	JAPANESE SWORD -Hizen-To
		The definitive Hizen-to may be described as having a strong Sugata (form or shape) with a skilfully controlled Suguha Hamon (straight quench-line) which is comprised of fine Nie (crystalised martensite) and which ends in a Ko-maru Boshi (small circular quenching pattern in the point).
		Nagasaki is within Hizen province and this was the centre of foreign influence throughout the Tokugawa period when the rest of the country was closed to foreigners.
		Although Hizen-to were produced for over 260 years (from 1594 to 1870-ish) unlike many sword production centres over this period Hizen-to, comparatively speaking, maintained a very high standard and tended not to be affected by the passing fashions of the time but rather maintained their integrity.

	Pottery of Japan - Kyushu Ceramics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		As Korean technology began to be incorporated by Kyushu potters in the late 16th century, Hizen (Saga and Nagasaki prefectures), Buzen (Fukuoka prefecture), Chikuzen (Fukuoka Prefecture), and Satsuma (Kagoshima prefecture) saw the establishment of kilns.
		The reason for this sudden growth in porcelain technology and production was due to the fact that the demand for porcelain became centered on the Hizen area as a result of temporary cessation of porcelain exports from China during the transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties (1640s).
		It is interesting to note that the wares produced in Arita (in fact, all Hizen porcelain ware) were commonly known as Imari ware in other countries, because the wares left the island via the port of Imari.

		By the fall of 1867, Verbeck's teaching had achieved such recognition that he could write that the daimyo of Kaga, Satsuma, Tosa and Hizen had all contacted him about establishing schools like the one in Nagasaki in their domains.
		All was not lost, however, as the Murata brothers used a retainer to convey questions about the Bible they had to Verbeck, who would then, in turn, relay his answers through the assigned messenger.
		Except for the escape to China in 1863 and one visit to Hizen, he had not left Nagasaki since his arrival in 1859.
